In case that company uses its equity from retained earnings or contributed capital in addition to borrowed funds to carry out the project, it is possible the avoidable interest is greater than actual interest. Due to the calculation method for avoidable, where you multiple the weighted average interest rate for other borrowing by the rest of the funds used for the project plus the specific funds borrowing interest cost to get the avoidable cost, it is possible that avoidable cost is greater than actual interest.

What is the difference between dividends and interest expense?
Interest Expense is usually calculated by (Carrying Value of Liability*Yield Rate * Time). Carrying Value is the actual present value of the liability (including discounts earned, etc) Interest Expense is the money that actually goes out of the firm. Interest Paid is calculated by (Face Value of Liability*Interest Rate * Time). Interest Paid is the fair-value of dues from the firm, but is not the actual value of the liability. Interest Expense is the amount reflected in the books of the firm, and is usually higher than Interest Paid. This is because Interest Expense often includes the cost of discount amortization(this is necessary when the bond/other liability was gained at a discount. The amortization is worked into the formula above, and hence gives an amount higher than interest paid. This gives the total interest expensed by the Company.) Hope this helps. Cheers

How do banks earn profit from lending money to their customers?
The customer pays the bank interest on the loan. The bank pays some of this interest to its depositors. The difference between incoming interest and outgoing interest (minus operating costs) is the bank's profit. With most loans charging more than 10% interest and most deposit accounts paying less than 0.5% interest, the bank can make loads of profit!
